It's a bit sad sackish and I'll be wrecked for work tomorrow but anyone else off to the midnight showing tonight? 10 years, 20 films, some poor, some good. They're not everyone's cup of tea but I grew up reading Marvel comics and the whole MCU is probably my go to for a comfort movie if I'm feeling sick. Kind of like Star Wars and the Indiana Jones films when I was wee.

The whole project of building an interconnected movie universe on this scale has been pretty ambitious and impressive. Arguably unparalleled. I'm looking forward to seeing how they wrap up all the loose ends, I expect Stark and Cap to die, possibly Hawkeye and War Machine too.

I know there'll be a bunch of "kid's movie" comments and, yeah, maybe it is a bit sad a 40 year old man is genuinely excited about watching it but **** it, looking forward to seeing Ant Man explode in Thanos' ass.

Friends of mine went to cineworld to watch the double header last night. The projector in their screen wouldnt work for the movie and they were all asked to leave! Offered either a free ticket, or if you had an unlimited card, a discounted hot dog or popcorn 😂 they were absolutely raging, the heating was also on full blast as it broken!

My lad love infinity war but worried he won't sit through this or it isn't suitable.

Depending on your 7 year ol, yeah, it's suitable. Nothing too complicated to follow, nothing too terrifying. I'll be honest though, while it was a good way to wrap up the 20 movies, they could've ramped up the octane just a smidge. It's not a slow film by any means but I wanted the last installment to be 100 mile an hour from start to finish. Sometimes it drops to 60.

Felt the film was slow at times and took a while to get into the action but did have some funny jokes in it.

My son is 8 and is going to see it on Saturday. My worry is he will be bored at parts of it.

Watched it this morning. Content wise it's fine, even if I broke down a bit near the end (no spoilers) . Length might be a deal breaker but it wasn't an awful lot longer than infinity war if I'm not mistaken

I thought the opening sequence of events went in way too fast and was worried they'd paced it all wrong but there ended up being so much content that in the grand scheme of things it was all spot on. 10/10

Watched it last night, thought it was great. so much going on in it, would love to watch it again but not sure cant fit 3 hours in, might just show up for what is essentially the second act.

Agree it was slow at times but think it had to be, kind of like the first two eps of GoT this season, audience need to have time with characters catching up/meeting for the first time and theres such a huge ensemble that's not easy

My 8 year old son loved it but wouldnt drink his juice as he said he would then need to go to the toilet and would miss some of the film. The Dominion used to have a wee break during long films - might be worth checking there

Just back from seeing it. Can’t decide whether I thought it was the best of the entire series or one of the poorest. Need to digest it.

I just watched it and feel the same.

My current thoughts are of feeling underwhelmed.

So many questions!

The one that's bugging me most is, where is Gamora? If she's alive, then why couldn't they bring Black Widow back? I suppose that will resolved in guardians 3 and the standalone black widow film possibly.

It was 2014 Gamora that's alive. I guess she was a bit confused by the whole Quill thing and made a sneaky getaway. Like you I presume that'll be the subject of guardians 3.

Some chat that 2018 Gamora and Romanov are trapped in a world inside the soul stone. Maybe that's how they address the BW film, though personally I hope it's a prequal and they leave her sacrifice as it is, which was a fitting ending to her journey.

God I'm a nerd

Yeh agreed about her sacrifice being a fitting end.

In regards to Gamora, I meant that they now can time travel so why can't they bring for example a 2014 version of BW (or anyone for that matter) into the present day regardless of whether one version of them is dead as they are saying the 2 (or more) versions aren't linked hence why Nebula doesn't kill herself when she kills the 2014 version.

If a 2014 Gamora can exist then anyone can surely. Also the 2014 version of her was on Thanos side when she arrived in the present day so should really have vanished in Iron Man's snap?

Probably over thinking it all but one thing I've liked about Avengers has been the relative consistency and I feel like some of that went out the window in endgame (people being able to hold infinity stones for example)

Re the bringing people back thing, was there not something in the film about not having enough Pym particles to do lots of jumps, which was why they only had a small number of attempts? I know Cap and Tony went back further to get more, but can't remember just how much they secured. Maybe thats the reason, dunno, need to see it again.

Like you i've appreciated the relative consistency. Its what annoyed me so much about Ragnarok, it turned Thor into an incompetent joke which was out of kilter with his previous appearances. I know it got good reviews but I hated Ragnarok, worst film of the franchise for me. You're right, the gauntlet was passed around like a football at one point!

Ah yes, I forgot about the Pym particles!! Good shout.

I really liked Ragnarok as a standalone film but yes it was completely out of sync with anything that had gone before it...though I guess after Dark World they probably felt they had to take it in another direction.

I went to see it with my girlfriend who just accepts everything in a film at face value so good to geek out on here. Cheers 👍👍

I think the BW film will be a prequal showing her going from assassin to shield agent

With Hank Pym back I assume he could make more Pym particles or there could be a struggle to make anymore antman films
